Children's Session
With so many people, and so few children immediately evident, you were sure there must be a "Pied Piper Festival" happening some where. Actually, it did not take long to find a good number of children functioning very nicely and learning very well.
Children must learning many basics, so Drill and Practice Games are "right" for some aspects of that kind of learning.

Off to the side, I could see a session for parents, teachers, and other adults on the proper ways to use Drill and Practice Games.
There is a pilgrimage article here worth up to 10 XPs with the name "Drill Games:"
It should be possible to gain up to 10 XP, but to do so will require careful consideration and good writing.
